J-drama that's sort of like My So-Called Life theme-wise, and comes across 
visually much better than other J-dramas I've seen (they tend to have sort 
of a...well it's like the difference between watching a British show vs. a 
US one.  I can't really think of how to describe it...the edges of things 
aren't as harsh...? ah well).  Thumbs up!

And if Warp happens to read this, I still don't get how anybody'd like 
PreCure, but check out Shugo Chara, you might enjoy that, too.  XD

  Looking at the cover image, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Syugo_anime.jpg
I think it surpasses a critical limit of "shoujoness".

Pfff, that's just promo art.  It's really great!  Plays against a lot of 
mahou shoujo stereotypes for humour (but then, most mahou shoujo anime do, 
to a greater or lesser extent).  I'd think if you can stomach PreCure, 
nothing'd be 'too shoujo'.  ;)

  It seems that they dare to break established formulas and try to make
something a bit different and interesting. For example, the typical
monster-of-the-week formula is mostly avoided, as well as the cliche
pair-of-magical-girls (or, in some case, quintet). They also dare to cross
gender boundaries and have some "magical boys" as well, although only in
secondary roles.
